THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE09JUN/152
“And the Spirit of LORD will come upon thee,
and thou shall prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man”
(1 Samuel 10:6)
The
importance of the Holy Spirit’s ministry in the Church can never be over
emphasized. Jesus and the Father are in Heaven but the Holy Spirit is with us
here, and He reveals the Father and Jesus to us. You can’t
live an effective Christian life except through the Holy Spirit. No
wonder the Lord Jesus commanded His disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they
were endued with the power of the Spirit (Acts 1:4). They needed the power of
the Holy Ghost to be effective witnesses of the Gospel of Christ.
The apostle
Peter, who in timidity and fear, denied Jesus before a young girl, became so
bold after he had received the Spirit. When the opportunity came to testify
about Christ, he boldly preached the Word and won about three thousand souls to
Christ at once: “Then they
that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added
unto them about three thousand souls” (Acts 2:41). The Holy Spirit
made the difference in his life!
